8 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1928 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS They whip the ends, they buck the guards, the line begins to yield And the greatest team in history backs slowly down the field And finally comes the whistle as a seal to Stanford s fate, And the greatest team in history goes staggering through the gate --Excerpt from a 1928 poem about the USC-Stanford clash. The Thundering Herd, under Hall of Fame coach Howard Jones, galloped to the Trojans first national championship in A swarming defense, led by tackle Jesse Hibbs and end Garrett Arbelide, gave up only 59 points all season, while an offensive backfield of Harry Edelson, Russ Saunders, Don Williams and Marshall Duffield rolled over, under, and through their opponents. USC finished the season with nine wins and no losses, with the only blemish being a 0-0 tie with Cal as the Golden Bears continued to be a nemesis for Troy in the 1920s. The Trojans beat Glenn Pop Warner s Stanford Indians, 10-0, forcing five fumbles in the process. Warner had never lost to Jones and he considered his 1928 team to be his best. But USC used a special strategy called the quick mix to disrupt Stanford s offense and help offset the Indians 10-pound-per-man weight advantage. The strategy worked in what was a landmark game for the Trojans, who established themselves as the preeminent football power on the West Coast. Warner never beat Jones again. The 1928 season also saw USC beat Notre Dame and Knute Rockne for the first time, Williams passed for 111 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 93 more as the Trojans clinched the national title NATIONAL CHAMPIONS I ve waited for two years for this day but, boy, what revenge! USC s Erny Pinckert after beating the Irish. The 1931 edition of Howard Jones Thundering Herd was the team that captured the imagination of college football fans everywhere, and the hearts of the citizens of Los Angeles. More than 300,000 welcomed the Trojans home from a thrilling victory over Notre Dame in South Bend a victory clinched by what sportswriter Maxwell Stiles called Johnny Baker s 10 little toes, and three BIG points. USC trailed the Irish14-0 at the outset of the final stanza, but stormed back behind the running of Gus Shaver and the passing of Orv Mohler. Baker s 33-yard field goal with one minute remaining made the difference. The win snapped Notre Dame s 26-game unbeaten streak and was the Trojans first victory in South Bend. The season started inauspiciously enough with a 13-7 loss to St. Mary s. I have no alibis to offer, said Jones afterward. But Troy then proceeded to roll over its next 10 opponents by a combined score of 356 to 39. There were six shutouts. (USC is) the greatest team I have ever seen, said Georgia coach Harry Mehre, after his Bulldogs were blanked, The usually taciturn Jones agreed, calling his team the greatest offensive machine I have ever coached. USC capped the season with a victory over Tulane in the Rose Bowl. Four Trojans garnered All-American acclaim: Baker, Shaver, Erny Pinckert and team captain Stan Williamson FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE PAGE 117

9 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1932 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Fortunately, I have a strong line to start with. I have Mohler, and if anything happens to him, I have Griffith and Warburton. Howard Jones to famed sportswriter Grantland Rice before the 1932 season. The Trojans breezed to their second consecutive national championship in 1932 as the Howard Jones era reached its pinnacle. But at the start of the season, future greatness was not apparent for this team. Seven regulars had graduated from the 1931 squad, including three All-Americans. By the end of the season, however, it was hailed as perhaps Jones finest squad. In fact, some still regard this as USC s best team. The line, one of the greatest in Trojan history, included All-Americans Tay Brown, Aaron Rosenberg and Ernie Smith. The offense, directed by Homer Griffith and featuring back Cotton Warburton and ends Ray Sparling and Ford Palmer, was potent despite losing star Orv Mohler to injury. Meanwhile, the defense shut out its first five opponents, before finally being scored upon in the fourth quarter of game six. Jones squad allowed only 13 points all season while scoring 201. USC defeated Notre Dame 13-0 and smashed Pittsburgh 35-0 in the Rose Bowl. The masterful 1932 season firmly placed Jones in the upper echelon of collegiate coaches. He even appeared on the cover of TIME magazine, where he was compared to the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg and Glenn Pop Warner. In 1999, Athlon magazine rated the 1932 team among the greatest of the 20th century NATIONAL CHAMPIONS We weren t off form, stale or crippled. We were just outclassed. Tennessee coach Bob Neyland after his undefeated, unscored-upon Vols lost, 14-0, to USC in the 1940 Rose Bowl. The year 1939 witnessed Howard Jones Thundering Herd capture its fourth national championship. The head man remarked at the team banquet that this team--his next to last at Troy--was his finest (at least in terms of depth) in his 16 years at USC. As tanks rolled in Europe, Jones team rolled to an record, shutting out six teams and allowing just 7 points to three others. Only 33 points were scored upon Troy that year--a mark no Trojan defense has topped since. The season had its share of huge games. There was a 19-7 win over No. 11 Oregon State in Portland and a win over No. 7 Notre Dame at South Bend (USC wouldn t win again at Notre Dame Stadium until 1967). The regular season finale was an epic 0-0 tie with No. 9 UCLA in front of 103,303, the second-largest crowd in Coliseum history. The capper was a 14-0 win over No. 2 Tennessee in the Rose Bowl against a Volunteer team that hadn t been scored upon in 16 games and hadn't lost in 24 games. Lineman Harry Smith was a unanimous All-American, while quarterback Grenny Lansdell--who led the team with 742 rushing yards and 54 points--was also named to some teams. At season s end, the Trojans were given the Knute Rockne Trophy, awarded each year to the No. 1 team in the country by Professor Frank G. Dickinson, a respected analyst who declared, The Trojans were the best team in the best section and the nation s other top teams did not play as strong a schedule as USC.

10 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1962 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Our intention was to win today...and what does the scoreboard say? John McKay after the 1963 Rose Bowl. In 1962, John McKay led USC to its first national championship in 30 years and inaugurated one of the greatest dynasties in college football history. From 1962 to 1981, the Trojans won five national titles, played in 11 Rose Bowls, collected four Heisman Trophies and contributed dozens of All-Americans to what was already a remarkable football heritage McKay s third team featured the talented quarterback tandem of Pete Beathard and Bill Nelsen, who combined to pass for 18 touchdowns while tossing only three interceptions. A then-school-record 11 of those touchdowns went to consensus All-American end Hal Bedsole, who also set the standard for passes caught (33) and yards receiving (827). The ground attack was run from the I-formation, led by the versatile Willie Brown at tailback and co-captain Ben Wilson at fullback. Brown led the team in rushing, interceptions, punt returns and kickoff returns, and was the second leading receiver. The Trojan defense allowed only 92 points all season. All-American linebacker Damon Bame led a unit that had three shutouts (including a 25-0 blanking of Notre Dame) and allowed more than 10 points only twice during the regular-season. Troy capped the year by outlasting Wisconsin, 42-37, in one of the most exciting games in Rose Bowl history. McKay was named Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association and the Football Writers Association of America NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Well, gentlemen, I guess I wasn t so stupid today. John McKay after beating UCLA, The 1967 Trojans relied on the running of tailback O.J. Simpson, the blocking of Outland Trophy-winning tackle Ron Yary, and a stifling defense to win USC s sixth national championship. Simpson s weaving 64-yard touchdown run, pehaps the most famous run in college football history, was the difference in a victory over UCLA. The showdown between the top-ranked Bruins and the No. 4-ranked Trojans remains one of the greatest games in the history of the crosstown series. USC s only blemish on the season was a 3-0 loss in the rain and mud to Oregon State in Corvallis. The Trojans would not be shut out again for 26 years and did not lose again to the Beavers until The other key victory for Troy, a 24-7 win over Notre Dame, was USC s first win at South Bend since Linebacker Adrian Young s four interceptions (a USC record) helped to repel the Irish. The Trojans celebrated New Year s Day 1968 with a 14-3 victory over Indiana in the Rose Bowl. The incomparable Simpson, the Heisman runner-up that year, ran for a then-ncaa-record 1,543 regular-season yards (1,709 overall) to go with 13 touchdowns. Mike Battle, Tim Rossovich, and Young led a defense which allowed only 87 points. A record five Trojans were selected in the first round of the 1968 NFL draft, with Yary going first overall FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE PAGE 119

11 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1972 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS USC s not the number one team in the country. The Miami Dolphins are better. -- Washington State coach Jim Sweeney. The 1972 national champions averaged 39 points per game and never trailed in the second half. In going , the Trojans scored 467 points, second most in school history. The defense intercepted 28 passes, limited their opponents to 2.5 yards per rush, and never gave up a run longer than 29 yards. The roster was a perfect blend of talent, youth, and experience. Senior Mike Rae and sophomore Pat Haden handled the quarterback duties. Sophomore Anthony Davis rushed for 1,191 yards despite not starting until the eighth game. All-American fullback Sam Bam Cunningham was an outstanding blocker and a tremendous leaper, especially in goal-line situations. Tight end Charles Young was equally adept blocking and receiving, while split ends Lynn Swann, Edesel Garrison and J.K. McKay were excellent pass catchers. The defense was fast and strong. Sophomore linebacker Richard Wood burst onto the scene with 18 tackles in the season-opener on his way to garnering All-American honors. John Grant and Jeff Winans anchored the defensive line, while Artimus Parker, Charles Phillips and Charles Hinton led the secondary. USC s smallest margin of victory was nine points (versus Stanford). The Trojans beat No. 4-ranked Arkansas 31-10, No. 18 Washington 34-7, No. 14 UCLA 24-7, No.10 Notre Dame and No. 3 Ohio State USC was unanimously chosen No. 1 in the final AP and UPI polls, the first team to be so honored. The 1972 team is considered to be John McKay s finest at USC and one of the greatest college teams of all time NATIONAL CHAMPIONS We turned into madmen. -- Anthony Davis, after USC came back to beat Notre Dame. The 1974 team earned John McKay his fourth national title behind the big-play heroics of All-American tailback Anthony Davis, the steady leadership of quarterback Pat Haden and the clutch play of a defense that forced the second-highest interception total in USC history. Davis, the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, rushed for 1,421 yards and 13 touchdowns. His three-year yardage total of 3,724 yards and 52 touchdowns was a Pac- 8 record. He set an NCAA record for most kickoffs returned for TDs in a season (3) and career (6). He scored four touchdowns to lead the Trojans to an amazing comeback win over Notre Dame in the regular season finale. In his career, Davis scored 11 touchdowns against the Fighting Irish. Pat Haden threw 13 touchdown passes, but his biggest completions came with the Trojans trailing Ohio State in the 1975 Rose Bowl. His 38-yard TD strike to J.K McKay with two minutes to play and his subsequent 2-point conversion to Shelton Diggs gave USC an victory and the writers share of the national championship. Senior linebacker Richard Wood, Troy s only three-time All-American, led the defense. Defensive back Charles Phillips set NCAA records for most interception return yardage in a season (302), most interception return yardage in a game (181), highest average gain per interception for one game (90.5), and most touchdowns on interception returns in a season (3). The win over Notre Dame, dubbed The Comeback, was sparked by Davis 102-yard kickoff return to start the second half. Trailing 24-0 late in the second quarter, the Trojans scored 55 unanswered points in just under 17 minutes to win going away. USC had five players selected to the All-American team for the third consecutive year. A school-record 12 Trojans were selected to the All-Conference squad (since equalled by the 1989 Trojans). Fourteen players from the 1974 team were taken in the NFL draft an all-time record also shared by the 1976 Trojan team. PAGE 120 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

12 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1978 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS I don t remember ever playing against a tailback who can run like White. Paul Bear Bryant, after witnessing Charles White rush for 199 yards against his Alabama team. The 1978 national champions, coached by John Robinson, were a USC team stocked with great college players and several future NFL stars. The Trojans finished 12-1, including a solid road victory over co-national champion Alabama, a nail-biting win over Notre Dame, and a victory over Michigan in the Rose Bowl. All-American tailback Charles White rushed for 1,859 yards to become the Pac-10 career rushing leader as a junior. Freshman tailback Marcus Allen provided depth. Quarterback Paul McDonald led the conference in passing and tied a USC record with 19 touchdown passes. Fullback Lynn Cain rushed for 977 yards, the most ever by a Trojan fullback. Flanker Kevin Williams had 17 receptions, 10 of them for touchdowns. The offensive line included All-American guard Pat Howell, All-Pac-10 tackle Anthony Munoz (considered by many to be the game s greatest tackle ever) and All-Pac-10 guard Brad Budde (a four-year starter and the 1979 Lombardi Award winner). The back-ups on the line included future All-Pros Roy Foster and Keith Van Horne. The defense featured the talented safety duo of Dennis Smith and Ronnie Lott. Linebackers Dennis Johnson (the team s tackle leader) and Riki Gray manned the middle, while Larry McGrew and Chip Banks roamed the outside. Rich Dimler, Myron Lapka and Dennis Edwards keyed the defensive line. The Trojans only loss was at Arizona State, They would remain unbeaten for the next 28 games. USC took the top spot in the coaches poll, but finished second in the writer s poll to Alabama despite beating the Crimson Tide earlier in the season NATIONAL CHAMPIONS If you stay with me, I'll take you places you've never been. Pete Carroll, at a team meeting to open 2003 fall practice. After a 25-year hiatus, USC returned to the top of the college football world when it won the 2003 AP national championship. Head coach Pete Carroll, in just his third year at Troy, guided his Trojans to a 12-1 record and their second consecutive Pac-10 title. USC closed the season by winning its last 9 games, including a dominating victory over No. 4 Michigan in the Rose Bowl. USC scored at least 30 points in 11 consecutive games, including 40 points in 7 in a row (both Pac-10 records), en route to tallying 534 total points (another Pac-10 mark). For just the second time in history, USC swept traditional rivals UCLA and Notre Dame in consecutive years. Not many predicted the 2003 team's success. After all, these Trojans had to replace a Heisman Trophy winner (Carson Palmer) and an All-American safety (Troy Polamalu), among others. But Trojans fans got an inkling of the team's potential when USC opened its season at No. 6 Auburn with a 23-0 whitewash. The only loss came in triple overtime at California. Five players won All-American first team honors: quarterback Matt Leinart, wide receiver Mike Williams, defensive end Kenechi Udeze, offensive tackle Jacob Rogers and punter Tom Malone. Leinart and Williams finished sixth and eighth, respectively, in the Heisman Trophy voting. And Carroll was recognized as the National Coach of the Year. Leinart, who had never thrown a pass in his USC career before the 2004 campaign, was the Pac-10's Offensive Player of the Year (Stanford's John Elway was the only other sophomore so honored) and set a Pac-10 record with 38 TD passes. Williams, another sophomore, caught 95 passes with a school-record 16 TDs. Udeze tied for the national lead in sacks with 16.5, while soph Malone shattered the USC season punting average record (49.0). Other key contributors were wide receiver Keary Colbert, who became USC's career receptions leader, the rotating tailback threesome of Hershel Dennis, LenDale White (the first true freshman to top Troy in rushing) and Reggie Bush, cornerback Will Poole, center Norm Katnik, defensive tackles Shaun Cody and Mike Patterson, placekicker Ryan Killeen and linebacker Lofa Tatupu. The Trojan defense topped the nation in rushing defense and was second in turnover margin, forcing 42 turnovers and scoring 8 TDs FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE PAGE 121

13 USC'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 2004 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS USC Leaves No Doubt Los Angeles Daily News headline after USC's Orange Bowl win. From the start of training camp, the motto for the 2004 USC football team was "Leave No Doubt." The Trojans did just that, winning their second consecutive national championship. And, unlike 2003, this title was undisputed, as USC demolished Oklahoma in the BCS Championship Game in the Orange Bowl, Troy went 13-0 overall (a school record for victories) and became just the second team ever to hold the AP No. 1 ranking from pre-season through the entire campaign. It was only the 10th time that a team won back-to-back AP crowns. At 8-0, USC won its third consecutive Pac-10 title. The Trojans swept traditional rivals UCLA and Notre Dame for an unprecedented third year in a row. USC concluded the season riding a 22-game winning streak, as well as 21 straight home games, a Pac-10 record 15 consecutive league home games, 15 straight Pac- 10 games and 9 road games in a row. Troy was in the national Top 10 in every defensive statistical category (its total defense average was USC s lowest in 15 years), including first in rushing defense and turnover margin and third in scoring defense. USC outscored opponents by 25.2 points (including a school-record 8 games with a margin of at least 30 points). USC played before 3 home sellouts, 7 regular-season sellouts and 8 season sellouts, all school marks. And Troy set a USC and Pac-10 record for home attendance average, as well as school records for total home attendance, overall attendance average and total overall attendance. A school-record 6 Trojans (Heisman Trophy quarterback Matt Leinart, Heisman finalist tailback Reggie Bush, defensive linemen Shaun Cody and Mike Patterson, and linebackers Matt Grootegoed and Lofa Tatupu) were named All-American first teamers. Leinart and Bush were named the Pac-10 Co-Offensive Players of the Year, while Cody was the Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. PAGE 122 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

14 USC'S "HISTORY-SHAPING" GAMES (When USC football reached a milestone in its illustrious history on Oct. 2, 1999, by playing its 1,000th game, former Trojan assistant sports information director Chris Huston wrote the following since-updated story in Troy's game program that day on USC's "most important" games...not necessarily the best games or most dramatic, but those that made USC football what it is today.) Looking back, who would have thought that a tiny school founded by the Methodist Church would emerge to become one of the top football powers in the country? There have been so many accomplishments in these 1,000 games: eight national titles, four Heisman Trophy winners, 28 Rose Bowls and 121 All-Americans. Trojan football history is packed with heroic moments and legendary names. The names are etched clearly in our memories: Gloomy Gus. The Thundering Herd. John McKay. Iron Mike. And the famous games still resonate: the twin comebacks versus Notre Dame, the recurring nail-biters against UCLA, the triumphant Rose Bowls. But what about the most important games out of the past 1,000 - the games that helped make USC what it is today? Which games started trends, broke streaks or changed history? Some you ll remember, some you won t. Here are a few of the contests that shaped USC s football history: USC 16, Alliance Athletic Club 0 The first game. Who could have imagined how the future would unfold? In those days a touchdown scored four points, while the conversion was worth two points, a field goal five points and a safety scored two. Frank Suffel and Henry Goddard were the playing coaches for this first team Stanford 16, USC 0 This was USC s first game ever against major college competition. Prior to this, USC had played Southland colleges, high schools, academies and athletic clubs and had rivalry games with Pomona and Occidental. Stanford, however, was big-time on the gridiron long before USC was. The Stanford-Cal game annually made bigger headlines, even in Los Angeles, than any USC game. USC fans looked forward to this game all year and the Trojans managed to hold their own on a dreary day in Palo Alto, but the result was a shutout loss. Significantly, USC did not play another major opponent in college football for nine years after this Stanford loss California 7, USC 0 Elmer Gloomy Gus Henderson s undefeated Trojans met Andy Smith s undefeated Bears before 60,000 in USC s first appearance at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. Jim Dixon scored the game s only touchdown on a 12-yard run around left end in the second quarter. USC s loss pushed its record against Cal to The pressure from the alumni for Henderson s ouster grew intense, and after an upset loss to St. Mary s the next week, the decision was made to buy out Gloomy Gus contract at the end of the year. The way was thus cleared for the arrival of Howard Jones, arguably Troy s greatest head coach Nebraska 17, Notre Dame 0 The greatest intersectional college football rivalry--usc versus Notre Dame--might never have commenced but for this game. USC was looking for a national rival and dispatched graduate manager Gwynn Wilson (akin to the modern day athletic director) and his wife to Lincoln, where Notre Dame was playing Nebraska on Thanksgiving Day. Knute Rockne was cool to the idea of a home-and-home series with USC because of the travel involved, but Mrs. Wilson was able to persuade Mrs. Rockne that a trip every two years to sunny Southern California was better than one to snowy, hostile Nebraska. Mrs. Rockne spoke to her husband and shortly thereafter Notre Dame became an annual fixture on USC s schedule USC 10, Stanford 0 Howard Jones had not beaten Glenn Pop Warner s Stanford Indians in three tries until his Thundering Herd did it before 80,000 at the Coliseum this year. The legendary Warner considered this Stanford team to be his best, but they lost five turnovers to USC that day. Stanford s 10- pound per-man weight advantage was offset by the Trojans quick-mix defense and a speedy backfield comprised of Don Williams, Russ Saunders and Marshall Duffield. This was a landmark game as it signaled Troy s emergence as the preeminent power on the West Coast. USC went on to win its first national title that season and Jones never lost to Warner again USC 16, Notre Dame 14 This game captured the imagination of football fans everywhere--and the hearts of the citizens of Los Angeles. More than 300,000 fans welcomed the Trojans home from this thrilling victory in South Bend--a victory clinched by what sportswriter Maxwell Stiles called Johnny Baker s 10 little toes and three BIG points. USC trailed 14-0 at the outset of the final stanza, but stormed back behind the running of Gus Shaver and the passing of Orv Mohler. Baker s 33-yard field goal with one minute remaining made the difference. The win snapped Notre Dame s 26-game unbeaten string and was the Trojans first win in South Bend. Called...the biggest upset since Mrs. O Leary s cow knocked over that lantern by El Rodeo, Troy s student yearbook, it clinched USC s second national title and firmly established the Trojans as a national power USC 38, Washington 7 This was USC s first home night game in the Coliseum. The game program reported: This may well be the one and only Coliseum night game in Trojan varsity football history. That year, Washington was under wartime travel restrictions and was forced to schedule two California games in seven days. A schedule conflict resulted and an exception had to be made to USC s longstanding policy of playing Saturday afternoons. The game was a success. The attendance of 62,865 was USC s largest for a home game that year. As a result, home night games became a regular part of the USC schedule USC 44, Texas 20 In 1925, guard Brice Taylor, an African-American, was named USC s first All-American. It would be about 30 years before another black man made his mark on Trojan football. Fullback C.R. Roberts was that man. He rumbled for 251 yards versus Texas, setting the USC single-game rushing record in the process. The record stood for 20 years. It was sweet redemption for Roberts and his teammates. The game was played in Austin and the hotel the Trojans had booked was segregated. Head Coach Jess Hill moved his team to a lodging that was integrated and the Trojans seemed to take it out on the Longhorns on game day Notre Dame 16, USC 6 This was the last game played between the two teams in South Bend in November. The freezing cold affected the Trojans so much that Athletic Director Jess Hill proposed moving USC s games at Notre Dame Stadium to October, while continuing to play the Coliseum games in late November. Notre Dame agreed and it has been that way ever since Iowa 35, USC 34 The Hawkeyes came into this game ranked No. 1 in the country. The Trojans, in their first season using John McKay s I-formation, were struggling. The critics in the press box said the I stood for incompetent, intolerable and ineffective. But on this day, after falling behind 21-0, USC exploded for 34 points and lost only in the last minute, The Trojans totaled 220 yards on the ground and 156 in the air. For the first time, the I- formation proved its worth. Soon, USC and John McKay became synonymous with this tailback-led rushing attack USC 24, Notre Dame 7 The 1967 USC-UCLA game is the game everyone remembers from this season, but it never would have had the same importance if the Trojans hadn t first defeated defending national champion and No. 5 Notre Dame on a sunny October day in South Bend. The previous year, the Irish handed the Trojans their worst defeat ever, 51-0, and despite USC s No.1 rank in the 1967 polls, Notre Dame was a heavy favorite. Weighing heavy on the oddsmakers minds was the fact that USC had not won in South Bend since 1939 (it didn t matter much to them that McKay, after the 66 debacle, vowed never to lose to the Irish again). It was on this day that most of the country first heard of a tailback named O.J. Simpson. The junior from San Francisco rushed for 160 yards on 38 carries and tacked on all three USC touchdowns. A tenacious Trojan defense intercepted seven passes (four by a true Irishman, Adrian Young) and recovered two fumbles. USC trailed at the half, 7-0, but roared back in the second half to win the game. The victory solidified Troy s place at the top of the final rankings USC 42, Alabama 21 It s a rare feat when a football game helps to change societal attitudes. The 1970 USC win over Alabama may have done just that. The Trojans traveled to Birmingham where they faced an all-white Crimson Tide team coached by Paul Bear Bryant. Thanks to dominating performances for USC by a trio of African-Americans (Sam Cunningham, Clarence Davis and Jimmy Jones), Bryant was convinced that he needed to recruit black players for his program. The rest of the Southeastern Conference soon followed suit and opportunities for black athletes in the South began to improve tremendously. Bryant was so impressed by Cunningham (who had 135 yards and two touchdowns on just 12 carries) that he invited the sophomore fullback into the Bama locker room after the game. He brought his players to Cunningham oneby-one and introduced him, saying: This is what a football player looks like USC 27, Notre Dame 20 At long last, after 13 years of futility, the Trojans defeated the Irish. In what seemed the unlikeliest of streaks, USC had found every possible way to not defeat Notre Dame. And in what seemed like the unlikeliest of days for it to happen, Troy finally ended that streak. USC was struggling at 5-6 after a wild double-overtime loss to UCLA the previous week while Notre Dame was standing tall with an 8-2 record and a New Year s Day bowl bid in the works. The Trojans somehow managed to stay in the game despite playing without starting quarterback Brad Otton for large chunks of regulation, as he was bothered by an injury. When Notre Dame scored a touchdown to go ahead (with the PAT pending) in the fourth quarter, things looked bleak for USC. But Irish kicker Jim Sanson shanked the extra point and the margin stayed at eight. The Trojans responded with an eight-play, 67-yard drive culminating in Delon Washington s 15-yard touchdown scamper. Washington also ran in the two-point conversion and the score was knotted at 20. Neither team could score before the end of regulation and overtime ensued. On USC s first drive, Otton hit Rodney Sermons with a five-yard touchdown pass and the Trojans went ahead for the first time, Jubilation erupted in the Coliseum when Mark Cusano then batted down Ron Powlus fourth-down pass and the streak ended USC 27, UCLA 0 This game was the regular season finale of the 2001 season, but it exemplified the attitude and style that first-year head coach Pete Carroll brought to Trojan football. The message sent that day was clear: Nothing beats a great defense. Furthermore, the game signalled a sea-change in the L.A. sports scene as USC under Carroll was increasingly viewed as the healthiest program in town. There was nothing complicated about the contest. The Trojan offense hit on a couple big plays namely, a 66-yard catch-and-run by tight end Kori Dickerson off a Carson Palmer aerial and a 34-yard touchdown run by tailback Chris Howard. But USC managed just 276 yards of total offense and 12 first downs. However, the Trojan defense was spectacular, holding UCLA to a paltry 114 yards and 10 first downs. USC picked off three UCLA passes, including an amazing between-the-legs snatch by cornerback Antuan Simmons which he returned 36 yards for a touchdown. It was USC's first shutout of UCLA since While the Trojans would later stumble in the Las Vegas Bowl, it was clear that something special was starting to go on at Troy FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE PAGE 123

15 USC'S HISTORY-SHAPING GAMES USC 44, Notre Dame 13 While the 2001 UCLA game was about re-establishing USC in Los Angeles, the 2002 Notre Dame game was about reestablishing USC on a national level. The Trojans had not played in such a highstakes game since the 1988 No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown against the Irish a bitter loss. On this day, three important things happened for USC. First, the Trojans clinched their first-ever BCS bowl berth. Second, they completed their first season sweep of UCLA and Notre Dame since 1981 and, probably most important of all, Trojan quarterback Carson Palmer showed the nation why he deserved to be named USC s fifth Heisman Trophy winner. Through it all, Troy put another feather in the cap of what would become its most magical and successful season since A capacity crowd and a near-national television audience saw first-hand the magnificent Carson Show, as USC s senior quarterback threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns both Notre Dame opponent records. What s more, he led the Trojan offense to 610 total yards again, the most yards ever against the Irish. While there were a couple nail-biting moments for USC fans in the second quarter as Notre Dame briefly took a lead, Palmer allayed those fears by leading a masterful 75-yard drive that took just over a minute and culminated in a pass that sailed over the outstretched hands of two Irish defenders and into the waiting arms of Mike Williams for a 19-yard touchdown. Hence, the Trojans sprinted into the locker room with a lead and never looked back in the second half on their way to scoring the most points against the Irish by a USC team since 1974 s legendary onslaught. The jubilant looks on the faces of the Trojan coaches, players and fans afterwards as well as the sight of the future Heisman winner holding aloft the Shillelagh said it all: USC was back.

16 USC S ALL-AMERICANS The following is a complete listing of all USC football players who have ever received first team All-American honors. Although there are several teams selected throughout the country, the NCAA now recognizes only seven in determining whether a player is a unanimous or consensus choice--ap, Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association, the Walter Camp Foundation and The Sporting News. From 1962 to 1990, USC had at least one first team All-American every year. From 1972 to 1987, there was at least one consensus All- American Trojan every year.
